US Vice President JD Vance admits Nicki Minaj is greater than Cardi B

By Michael Ehindero
United States Vice-President JD Vance is the latest to wade into the conversation between rap rivals Nicki Minaj & Cardi B.





In a post on X, JD Vance wrote 'Nicki>Cardi'. This comes after Nicki Minaj, in a now deleted tweet, posted 'Vance > Rants' with a chucky meme.




Who would have guessed a day would come when we'd see the United States Vice President drop his 2 cents on one of Hip-Hop's greatest rivalry?

Uganda Shuts Down Internet as President Museveni seeks to extend 40 year rule

By Michael Ehindero

Uganda has been plunged into a nationwide digital blackout on Tuesday evening as the government ordered internet service providers to sever connections just two days before a pivotal general election. The formal directive from the Uganda Communications Commission cited the need to curb misinformation, electoral fraud, and potential incitement to violence as justifications for the shutdown.  While government officials privately confirmed the order to AFP, the administration has avoided making a public announcement, reportedly to distance itself from the controversial decision.

The blackout, which commenced at 6:00 pm local time, marks a stark reversal of recent government promises. Authorities had previously dismissed reports of an impending shutdown as "false" rumors designed to sp...

Elon Musk 's X has officially suspended the iconic @ twitter handle in a move that marks the final symbolic severance from its past.

The move marks a symbolic end for the "Blue Bird" era. Since the 2023 rebrand, Musk has steadily erased legacy features to make room for his "everything app" vision. While some see the suspension as a routine cleanup of inactive assets, others view it as the ultimate sunsetting of the Twitter brand. Neither Musk nor X leadership has commented on the deactivation.
